Bioinorganic vanadium(V) solids are often challenging for structural analysis. Here, we explore an NMR crystallography approach involving multinuclear (13) C/(51) V solid-state NMR spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT), and spin dynamics numerical simulations, for the spectral assignment and the 3D structural analysis of an isotopically unmodified oxovanadium(V) complex, containing 17 crystallographically inequivalent (13) C sites. In particular, we report the first NMR determination of C-V distances. So far, the NMR observation of (13) C-(51) V proximities has been precluded by the specification of commercial NMR probes, which cannot be tuned simultaneously to the close Larmor frequencies of these isotopes (100.6 and 105.2 MHz for (13) C and (51) V, respectively, at 9.4 T). By combining DFT calculations and (13) C-(51) V NMR experiments, we propose a complete assignment of the (13) C spectrum of this oxovanadium(V) complex. Furthermore, we show how (13) C-(51) V distances can be quantitatively estimated.
